This could totally evolve into full song books

Imagine using songs to teach maths... I would have enjoyed learning algebra so much more 🤣 Imagine getting the class to sing in harmony... no kids left out or causing trouble... such a noble idea 🤍

My point here is with video and narration or script or even a book, you don't get that long term memory retention from watching or reading something because compared with a song of substance we don't have that synchronized  memory friendly melody and rhythm tied to the idea. We are told the idea and maybe remember it forna short time given the spoken or visual reference but we arguably don't remember it as easily as we would if we learned it in a song and the song contained the substance of the information.  It's hard to imagine how far that could evolve but it obviously would need to evolve with other existing methods to discover how far it could go

The version could evolve with the person. They grow to live their song on a piece of knowledge and then as they get older they can unlock new versions of the song which also evolve with the musical style but written to suit the period of their life. This would also incentive to absorb more music and upgrade early if whatever status quo agreed wasn't enough for you with that form of musical learning

My point here vs what my Grandad believed about connecting heart to something to be poetic. If we take evolution as our link to all other life  ~ We mutated or branched away from all other niches of life. So for me that's enough to say they all have a role in making our hearts hence we sing about our hearts when we sing about ANYTHING

Derren Browne is the person I'm referring to here. I believe the brain retains memories better when it has multiple items that are associated. So if you force yourself to remember something by tying it to something else you tend to remember both easier because of the extra wiring. so effectively it's an intentionally controlled self pogrammed neuroplasticity. I believe illusionists and mentalists use this to build memory specific tricks and performances. What I'm trying to suggest is music can become that multiple item reference for us in a more controlled way to actually learn from it in possibly a more lasered manner

Thinking about it from the perspective of time, and the moments we listen to the song that's about to drill itself into your head forever. Another reference over and above the multiple musical elements is the time and moment itself. So if one song does that and you feel the nostalgia of going back there as well as the additional memory could a life of songs if you experience them as you grow achieve that in a more useful manner. And that other time and in the moment  reference exists maybe to solidify the memory further in your brain. Again I believe the more references the brain has on something the more clarity to recall I believe. It seems to be like a redundancy the brain has when we use it

Like the Himba people of Namibia integrate their music into everything from birth to ethical discipline... Imagine all nations had their patriotism and knowledge tied to songs. Nations could take pride in how well they project themselves through music and nations could trade and absorb and share their knowledge/songs to hone and expand a musical based collective. Was also thinking that therapy can be subtley put in lyrics and made relevant to songs and therapeutic ideas applicable to a person's age. This could really help us stay ahead of depression and solidify emotional intelligence through music. Less crime, less indifference and a wonderful way of sharing and merging genuine artistic knowledge which would likely evolve as nation specific first... A national anthem is almost a seperator .. this is us.. What's yours? Where as that's nice anthems are usually mentioning conflict and freedom where as maybe we could empower ourselves better with words of now & positive future

For the maths formula songs imagine something visual that associates well with the formula. Then wrote the connection into the lyrics. This could be the method to ingrain Derren Browned thinking in the song on steroids... You have the musical reference and his magician method of forced visual assocation memory merged in music

one upon a time we went to the House of Nanking restaurant and as we sat down a quarter-pounder cockroach strolled down the counter. nobody was bothered and we stayed and ate 'cuz the food was so damn good. still a favorite and inspiration for this exotic musical dish called House of Nanking Blues.

Stranger

As a stranger i arrived
As a stranger i went 							


As a stranger i arrived
As a stranger i went
From anywhere close to somewhere
And then back to anywhere again

Well I could tell a thousand tales
Well i could tell a thousand lies

I could tell  a thousand dreams
That might not be true
Could formulate a thousand lines
You won’t believe that they’re true

Well, I could tell…
I could run a hundred thousand miles and more…

As a stranger i arrived
As a stranger i went 							

As a stranger i arrived
As a stranger i went
From anywhere close to somewhere
And then back to anywhere again…

- solo -

As a stranger i arrived
As a stranger i went
From anywhere close to somewhere
And then back to anywhere again

One thing asking myself,
Has it been true ?
Did i really run a thousand miles
Just to get hold of you ?		
One thing that i must ask again
Has that been true ?
Did i really run a thousand miles
Just to get hold of you ?				

Well, i could tell…
Well, i could tell…

Did i really run a thousand miles
Just to get hold of you ?
Did i really write a thousand lines
Then to get rid of you ?
I could run a hundred thousand miles
Well, i could run a hundred thousand miles and more
With a stone in my shoe…

An acoustic/stripped down version of this song originally released in time for Valentine's Day last year. (https://soundcloud.com/graham_j_williams/when-you-say-graham-williams) A couple of additional percussive elements have been added together with a new, subtle, acoustic bass line.

Lyrics by David Cooper

Living on an island
Watch the waves roll by
Wake up in the morning
And see the deep blue sky

Far away from humanity
Far away from the life they lead
Life is so easy
And that’s all I need

Chorus

So let me stay, let me stay - for a long time
So let me stay, let me stay - for a long time

Bridge

So little lady, let me see
The love that you have for me
Love that runs so wild and free
Come on baby, give it to me

Dancing to the calypso beat
Just feel your body heat
Walk the white sandy beach
Life like this ain’t out of reach

Palm trees sway in the breeze
The pace of life is full of ease
Mañana is the word to hear
Life is full, life is so clear

Chorus

Living on an island
Watch the waves roll by
Wake up in the morning
And see the deep blue sky

Bridge

So little lady, let me see
The love that you have for me
Love that runs so wild and free
Come on baby, give it to me

Solo
Living on an island x 4
